Please complete the online feedback form, or send us an email at evaluation@ngoinabox.orgThe Open Publishing Edition of NGO-in-a-box is a toolkit of Free and Open Source software, tutorials and guides for producing, publishing and distributing content. The Edition, produced by Tactical Tech in collaboration with iCommons, is aimed at small to medium sized non-profits, independent media organisations, free culture creators and grassroots journalists with a particular emphasis on those in developing and transition countries.
The contents of the toolkit were selected by an editorial team made up of leading international practitioners working in DIY publishing, free culture, technology for social justice and the development and deployment of free and open source software.
The off-line edition of the Open Publishing Box is targeted at users who have limited Internet access. It is a three CD box set comprising a printed booklet and CD with the contents of this website along with the profiled tools and related documentation. It also includes a copy of the Ubuntu GNU/Linux operating system and a copy of the OpenCD.
